SMC processing
Step 03 Transformation
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) processing is an essential manufacturing process in the composites industry. The transformation process for SMC material involves several key stages:
Material preparation
First, glass fibers, resin and mineral fillers are carefully blended to form a homogeneous compound. This mixture is then pre-impregnated with resin to ensure uniform distribution of the materials.
MOLDING
The SMC material is then compressed and preformed into the desired shape. This stage is carried out by hot compression molding using specific molds. Pressure and heat are applied to consolidate the material.
In short, the transformation of SMC material is a sophisticated process that enables the creation of high-performance composite parts, adapted to a variety of industrial applications thanks to its structural strength and versatility.
